Concerto for Piano in C-sharp minor, Op. 30 [Alf:36-A193148]

Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov's (1844-1908) Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor, Op. 30, was written at the request of Mily Balakirev and was premiered at one of his Free Music School concerts in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1884. Rimsky-Korsakov dedicated the work to Franz Liszt, as Liszt's concertos were used as a model for composing a piano concerto in a single movement. Using a single theme (No. 18 from Balakirev's collection of folk songs), each section contrasts but flow into each other without boundaries. The score and parts are also available separately from the publisher.
